Brushed aside (8)
I believe the answer is:
rebuffed
'brushed aside' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for rebuffed that I've seen before include "Cold-shouldered" , "Snubbed, slighted" , "Snubbed in contemptuous way" , "Rejected outright and bluntly" , "Rejected ungraciously" .)
